Olo by Case-Mate

Case-Mate are obviously one of the top names in device protection that’s quality, fashionable, and functional. But they can also be something else: spendy!

Of course it makes sense to get a quality case to protect your usually very expensive device, but if you’re looking for a bit of extra fun in a case that won’t break the bank, check out the new Olo line: fun, hip, and sporty cases for iPhone 4/4S/5, Samsung Galaxy S III, and Blackberry Z10.

The biggest range of Olo covers goes to the iPhone 4/4S crowd, with four models to choose from. All are low-profile in fun, candy colours. The Sling, Simple, and Glacier are soft, flexible covers, while the Duet is a hard-shell, duo-toned, two-piece number. I’ll be test-driving the Glacier on my own phone.

There are also two cases for the newer iPhone 5: the colourful Sling, and the extremely sexy Tough Naked (the priciest case in the range, at £25).

My favourite case in the line is for the Samsung Galaxy S III: The appropriately named Fashion case with its sassy animal print design. It’s joined by the candy-coloured Sling and Duet cases.

And last, but certainly not least, there are a couple cases for the Blackberry Z10 users. I’ve always thought of the Blackberry crowd as a little more staid and utilitarian in their phone choices, and these cases go right along with that. Sleek, refined, understated. And as part of the Olo line in the Case-Mate family, they’re affordable, without looking cheap.

So if you’ve got one of these phone models, and feel like adding an extra case for fun, or just can’t fathom splashing out on a spendy case when you’ve already drained your account buying a smartphone, check out the Olo line. And, as Case-Mate put it, “Experience happiness, right in the palm of your hand.”
